Football. Having fun one last time together: Le Puy Foot wants to enjoy the party in Sochaux.

Sochaux – Le Puy Foot At 19:30, at the Auguste-Bonal stadium It is a kind of reward that the whole club has truly deserved. To end a more than successful season, Le Puy Foot will play in an emblematic French football stadium with closed doors, creating a memory that should last. If they spoiled the party in similar circumstances in Nancy in 2023 (1-2 in front of 19,000 people), it would take an unlikely scenario this time for the home team not to celebrate their promotion to Ligue 2 at the final whistle.

Because with a three-point lead and a goal difference tiebreaker similar to Fleury (0-0 then 2-2), Sochaux have a comfortable cushion of +7 in the goal difference. In other words, Fleury would need to win 4-0 against Rouen (in a real final for the 3rd place) combined with a 3-0 defeat for Sochaux. Needless to say, the 18,500 people who snapped up tickets for the match do not believe it for a second and will be there to celebrate the promotion, three years after the relegation and fears of the club’s disappearance.

Le Puy Foot is expected to continue their tour of festivities, a week after seeing Dijon secure their championship title in Massot (1-2), which still maintains a bad streak. Since missing the chance to climb onto the podium at home against Aubagne (1-2, on April 10), the newcomer has not won a match (three defeats, two draws). And even though the performances are not bad, it is clear that there is no longer the extra soul that allowed this group to believe in the playoffs.

“The pleasure also comes from a performance” “The goal is to have fun one last time together, knowing that pleasure also comes from a successful collective performance,” comments Matis Carvalho, well aware that the group will inevitably change by next season. All players met with the staff and management this week to prepare for this continuation, which will be in Ligue 3.

The FFF also communicated all the new features that will accompany this name change this week, including a sort of VAR, scheduling on Thursdays and Saturdays, 18 players on the match sheets. A competition in which we will find the Ponots in almost three months, on August 8th.
